Dear Schuylerville families,

The district has learned that a Schuylerville Elementary School student tested positive Tuesday, Dec. 8 for COVID-19. Since learning of the positive case, the district has been working in conjunction with Saratoga County Public Health Services. The student was last in the building Monday, Dec. 7.  Faculty and staff, as well as student quarantine phone calls were all made last night, and those individuals are not in school today. 

Please note that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other privacy laws restrict us from disclosing or confirming any personally identifiable information. We cannot identify anyone who has tested positive.

The district remains open for in-person learning and will continue its nightly COVID-19 protocol disinfecting, using hospital grade disinfectant on all surfaces and touch points, and as a secondary precaution, uses a disinfecting mist in every room throughout the buildings. In addition, each day, all staff members complete a daily health screening questionnaire before being allowed in the building, and students are temperature checked prior to entering the school buildings for a temperature of 100 degrees or greater.

Following guidelines regarding masks, social gatherings and social distancing are important to both inside and outside of school buildings. Thank you for your cooperation and continued commitment to keeping everyone safe.
